The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2019 and referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 12, 2019. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 21, 2019 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 20, 2019 and was referred to the House State-Federal Relations and Veterans Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 3, 2019. The committee met in executive session on April 10, 2019 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 15–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2019-1430h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2019-1430h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 2, 2019, changing the text of the bill. On May 2, 2019 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 2, 2019 the bill was referred to the Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 21, 2019. The committee met in executive session on May 28, 2019 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 13–1 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On June 5, 2019 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. On June 13, 2019 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. David Watters.
